Daily Caller Doling Out Guns To Its Readers Now Through Election Day
The Daily Caller, the proudly racist and rabidly right-wing website of adult Pee-Wee Herman doll and epic media failure Tucker Carlson, is no longer going to pretend that it cares about decency and decorum. The website that set of many alarms following the Trayvon Martin murder and the racist responses that its users plastered all over the place, is now offering one handgun per week from now until election day.
Here’s the actual announcement:
The Daily Caller will be giving away one gun per week until Election Day – November 6, 2012. The FMK9C1 is an American-made high capacity 9mm designed by Jim Pontillo and manufactured in California. Each gun is engraved with the Bill of Rights and comes in one of three colors.

Morning emails are an informative and amusing way to keep up with the latest news. To enter the giveaway you must complete the form below agreeing to all terms and conditions associated with the contest.
I was just thinking if there’s possibly anything that unhinged, angry white people who undoubtedly already have a small army of weaponry need, it is free guns. However, if you ask me that sounds awfully socialist of them. Then again, I suppose male enhancement substitutes trump all ideological contradictions.
“Like most Americans outside Washington, D.C., New York City and most of our nation’s news rooms, large numbers of Daily Caller readers love guns,”Daily Caller publisher and former Dick Cheney policy adviser Neil Patel said in a release. (Source: Yahoo News)
I think it’s safe to assume that Daily Caller readers love guns like NJ Governor Chris Christie loves second helpings.
When asked to comment on this rather bizarre and seemingly deadly publicity stunt, Carlson seems to think it’s a perfectly safe and rational idea.
“Seems obvious. Why wouldn’t it be a good idea? We trust our readers,” said Carlson (Source: Yahoo News)
And what contest isn’t obliged to warn all of its winners to obey all local, state and federal laws governing the lawful transfer of a firearm. It’s kind of like Publisher’s Clearing House, but instead of Ed McMahon showing up at your house with a monstrous check, a dyspeptic conservative shows up like Dog the Bounty. What could possibly go wrong there.
More specifically, each winner “will be required to have proper identification suitable to receive a firearm in their jurisdiction and will be required to complete an ATF Form #4473 and pass a NICS background check at their local firearms retailer that holds a valid Federal Firearms License. Failure to comply with each of these requirements will result in a forfeiture of the prize,” according to official rules and regulations.
Indeed, the Daily Caller wants you to Stand your Ground!

Gunshot wounds impact severely on the criminal justice as well as health care systems. Some basic statistics are important in understanding the magnitude and severity of the social and economic burden to the U.S. The subject remains contentious. (Glantz and Annas, 2009)

In the U.S. for 2010, there were 31,513 deaths from firearms, distributed as follows by mode of death: Suicide 19,308; Homicide 11,015; Accident 600. This makes firearms injuries one of the top ten causes of death in the U.S. The number of firearms-related injuries in the U.S., both fatal and non-fatal, increased through 1993, declined to 1999, and has remained relatively constant since. However, firearms injuries remain a leading cause of death in the U.S., particularly among youth (CDC, 2001) (Sherry et al, 2012).

A study of firearm deaths in high income countries (Australia, Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom (England and Wales), United Kingdom (Northern Ireland), United Kingdom (Scotland), and the United States) was conducted with data from the World Health Organization assembled by the WHO from the official national statistics of each individual country from 2003 (Richardson and Hemenway, 2011). The total population for the United States for 2003 was 290.8 million while the combined population for the other 22 countries was 563.5 million. There were 29,771 firearm deaths in the US and 7,653 firearm deaths in the 22 other countries.
